BLUE Chapter Ten
"Let's partyyyyy!" It was hard to believe Tasha wasn't drunk as Alex stepped into the Uber containing her parked outside his house. Since neither of them had a car and both considered it bizarre to ask their guardians to drive them to a party at night, they opted to ordering an Uber. It was to initially pick Tasha from her place then Alex then drive them to the house the party was going to be holding. Dressed in skinny ripped jeans and a white T-shirt alongside a denim jacket, Alex felt dressed enough for the party. It was his first party and as such was clueless on how to go about it but on getting downstairs and receiving a thumbs up from his very dramatic cousin, he knew he was good to go.His hair was washed and blow dried and smelt like the strawberry flavored shampoo his aunt had supplied him. Lucas dashed into his room and brought out an expensive looking cologne and didn't hesitate to drown him in it. With his card, phone and spare house keys in his hand, he bid his aunt and
BLUE Chapter Eleven
"What?!" Tasha burst into laughter as Alex stared at the list in front of him. The professor from his first day and class at college had kept to her words and had sent out a list of projects for the students that missed her class on the first day. The only problem was that Alex's name was the first on the list. Tasha had rushed to class to tell him he was included. He initially dismissed it and concluded she was joking but as he noticed her look grew more serious with every second, he had to get on his feet to actually check the list himself. And to his great surprise, his name truly was the first on the list. "This is ridiculous," he said to a still laughing Tasha. It was amusing to her how the tides had quickly changed from him laughing and her being the serious one. "Is there perhaps another Alex Croft in our year?" "Even if there was," she replied, obviously still holding back her laughter. "Would you both have the same ID number? Look, it's exactly yours." "But I attended h
BLUE Chapter Twelve
"Alex!" Alex looked up to meet Tasha waving at him standing few meters opposite the professor's offices building. He waved at her in return as they both began walking towards each other, meeting at the middle. "There you are," she said to him as they were only few inches apart. "You took longer than expected though. Was it just her you were talking to." "Yes, of course. I met just her," he replied, getting rid of all possibilities of Seb's name making way to their conversation. "Did you come to meet me?" "Something like that," she smirked. "I figured if I couldn't go with you to her office, I could at least wait for you outside it." "Oh, I wasn't expecting that, thanks-" "Of course you're welcome," she flung her arms around him. "So how did it go? Please tell me she reversed it?" "Sadly, no," he flashed her a pathetic look. "She insisted I wasn't in her class despite all my efforts on trying to convince her otherwise. She's just crazy." "Aw sweetie," she pat him. "She really
BLUE Chapter Thirteen
“What are you doing here?” The look of shock seemed to have vanished from Seb’s face now replaced with one of mischief. He was in a faded tshirt and had shorts on with his hair falling all over his face making it obvious it was still wet from a recent washing. Alex literally gulped. “I literally should be the one asking you that,” he replied Alex, folding his arms. “What are you doing at my house?” “Your ho-house?” Alex was already stuttering. “How is this your house? This is supposed to be-” “Alex! You’re here!” Seb shifted to reveal Victoria waving and walking excitedly towards them. Alex heaved a little sigh of relief on spotting her and anticipated her saving him from the fast brewing uncomfortable situation. “Do you know him?” “Do you know him?”“Wait a sec, do you guys know each other?” Victoria burst into laughter as the trio simultaneously asked each other questions. “Okay we need to all chill out and you know-” “I’m at the right place, right?” Alex flashed his ph
BLUE Chapter Fourteen
Never in Alex’s wildest dreams did he imagine he could spend several hours working on a project and feel so comfortable doing so. Over extra two hours were spent and Alex totally lost track of time. Probably because the floor of Victoria’s room felt so warm as he sat on it or because Victoria was just an amazing team partner- he couldn’t figure out which, but he found himself with a strange type of comfort as he worked. Or, probably because he knew he could get an extra help just whenever he wanted one. Whatever it was, it managed to keep him going and he was glad. “Do your both plan on working yourselves to death?” Victoria’s room door was opened without permission to reveal Seb. He folded his arms, shook his head and stared at them then the floor they were working on. “Why are you in my room?” Vic spoke up. “Look here,” he unfolded his arms. “All of these- you guys working and all is a cute sight to see but it’s getting late, okay?” “Late?” “Look at that,” Seb shook his h
BLUE Chapter Fifteen
"Shit." Alex said the word out loud staring at himself in the mirror with his toothbrush in his hand. He had woken up by his normal wake up time- few minutes past seven and immediately got into the bathroom to get ready. He decorated his toothbrush with toothpaste, mentally picked his outfit of the day including his footwear and was about to have his toothbrush roam his mouth when he realized he didn't ask Seb the time they were to meet up. Mentally groaning, he walked back into his room and unplugged his phone from the charger. With his toothbrush in his left hand and phone in his right, he texted him. Alex: Good morning... Alex: I forgot to ask yesterday. When should we meet up? He waited for a few seconds and on getting no reply, sent his toothbrush into his mouth. It went in circles, Alex's eyes doing the same as he waited for a reply. He didn't get any and when he was finally done with brushing and washing his face, he resorted to calling him. The phone rang a couple o
BLUE Chapter Sixteen
Sebastian walked out of his room dressed in ripped black jeans, a grey t-shirt and a checkered shirt. His eyes roamed the house and on spotting Alex, his whole face lit up with a smile. “I’m here,” Seb said out loud, walking towards Alex. “I’m not too late, am i?” “No, it’s okay,” Alex replied, getting up to meet Seb. Stylishly, he checked him out from head to toe and mentally commented how he managed to look so effortlessly. “Your shoes.” “What?” Before Seb could complete his statement, Alex crouched in front of him and took his shoe laces into his hands. “Your shoe laces are untied.” “Oh, are they?” Seb chuckled, watching Alex wrap the laces around his seeming delicate fingers then tie them into a knot. “Didn’t realize.” “You didn’t have to rush,” he finally said then got up, allowing himself use the opportunity of being that close to him to inhale his cologne to his heart content. “I could wait.” “Still,” Seb looked at him. “I didn’t want to keep you waiting for too long.”
BLUE Chapter Seventeen
Picking a book from his newly furnished and stocked shelf, Alex grabbed his backpack and prepared to step out of his room. He walked and switched off the lights, mentally marvelling on how the room now looked and commending himself for a job well done. The previous night was an exhausting one and as he remembered how he initially struggled with getting the wallpaper in place, it reminded him of just how hard he tried to get the memories of the day out of his mind. Brushing the thoughts away, he gave his new wallpaper a final pat and stepped out. Immediately shutting the door behind him, he walked through the hallways and quickened his steps on getting to the edge of the stairs. He had gotten used to skipping the stairs heading to the down floor every morning to meet his aunt and cousin. They were always seated and it seemed like waiting for him had become a routine for them- his aunt, waiting with smiles and his cousin waiting with a new mischievous look on his face. He was finall
